Team Rocket, The Irregular Penguin, and Sheep

Chapter 5

"I can't believe it." the banana wheezed, "You actually got a copy. Well, here's your time hole Bob."

The banana plopped a glass jar down on the table.

"Thanks dude, I'll come back when I've ditched these two losers." Bob replied.

An hour later, Jessie and James celebrated. A large mob of electric mops and patrol bots massed outside the room. Colby pulled up in the cart with Bob. His extra hand knocked on the door. Team Rocket threw on their clothes and answered the door. Unfortunately in the rush, Jessie and James got their shirts mixed up.

"Yes?" they asked in unison as they answered the door.

"Yeah, we got a problem and, OH FOR THE LOVE OF THE COLOR PURPLE! FIX YOURSELVES! ARGH!" Bob screeched and became violently ill all over the floor.

Fortunately, the electric mops were still there and they cleaned up the mess quickly. Team Rocket shut the door and fixed their clothes. They opened the door again, and the mops and patrol bots had scampered off.

"Uh, Jess? I'm still wearing your under…" James began. But he never finished his sentence.

Jessie grabbed Colby and began slamming James over the head with the purple robot. She returned the dented Colby to the cart, which began jabbering incessantly.

"Like I was saying…" Bob groaned, "The sheep have just broken into the ship and they want to take the time hole. We have to destroy their ship, and then destroy the sheep that have already boarded. Take these guns. When the sheep get to the bridge, start shooting."

They traveled in the cart to the bridge, where they prepared to fire on the black warship. Bob tucked the glass jar containing the time hole under his arm protectively. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and a figure entered. Bob gasped in terror. Standing in the doorway was a giant antelope. Bob screamed and threw the glass jar at it in the hopes that it would go away. The antelope caught the jar and tugged at a zipper protruding from its chest. The sheep threw the antelope costume to the ground and ran off with the time hole. The intruder alert systems returned to normal, and the black warship began to fly off.

"Damn, I thought it was a Bakradian antelope." Bob cursed, "Come on, open fire!"

Team Rocket pressed buttons a quickly as they could. Every weapon imaginable fired its way out of The Irregular Penguin, including a large jar of Vaseline. A huge hole burned its way through the side of the black warship. The time hole opened up at that exact moment. The Irregular Penguin and the remains of the black warship were sucked inside and hurled through time. One again, Jessie and James blacked out on the floor and began to twitch. James began to sing a lengthy ballad, which described the flight of a seagull and the airplane that crushed it. Jessie mentioned teeth and then was silent. Bob sighed. As The Irregular Penguin pulled out of the time hole, and Team Rocket regained consciousness, the three of them watched the remains of the black warship plummeting towards the Earth's surface.

"Don't worry, it'll be incinerated in Earth's atmosphere." Bob explained, "Damn that Ed. I knew that stupid banana would rip us off somehow. Oh well, it's only about 12 hours off."

"What?" Team Rocket asked in unison.

"The time hole brought us back to the wrong time." Bob explained.

"Oh Jessie!"

"Oh James!"

"We're only off by 12 hours. Go back to your room and relax or something." Bob sighed.

Colby brought Jessie and James back to their room.

"Whatever, get out of my cart and don't call me unless it's absolutely nessicary." The purple robot growled.

"That's a switch of personality." Jessie commented.

"Yeah, it's your fault. You bashed me over the head of your boyfriend over there and it must have rattled my personality circuits. Now get lost." Colby growled as it sped off in the orange cart.

Jessie and James shrugged as they entered the room. James sighed as he sat down in an armchair. Jessie sat at the foot of the bed.

"We're going home. This is so great. We'll finally be able to return to our normal lives. When we get back you know the first thing I'm going to do?" James asked sweetly.

"What's that?" Jessie asked blushing a little bit.

"Stuff myself with doughnuts!" James giggled.

Jessie hurled a pillow across the room, which smacked James in the face and burst open. James toppled to the ground in a shower of white Kanan dove feathers. James stood up. Grabbing a pillow from the chair, he lunged across the room and began whacking his partner across the face. A crazed pillow fight resulted, and afterwards, Team Rocket celebrated their return home. Every patrol bot and electric mop in the entire ship crushed itself against the door to eavesdrop. A while later, there was a knock at the door.

"YEEEEEEEHAAAA! I just had 5 pots of coffee and I am buzzed! After you kids put your pants back on, I'll take y'all to the teleportation room. YEEEEEEEHEEEEE!" Colby shouted. A few minutes later, Team Rocket stumbled out of the room. Colby noticed a large red mark on Jessie's neck.

"Hey! Is that what I think it is?" Colby snickered.

"What do you mean?" Jessie asked innocently, rubbing the spot.

"YEEEEEEHAAAA! Looks like yer boyfriend's a vampire. YEEEEEHEEE!" Colby laughed.

Team Rocket stepped into the orange cart, and Jessie kicked Colby in the head. Colby proceeded to drive them to the teleportation room while telling them all about the history of glue. Upon entering the teleportation room, Bob grinned at the two Rockets.

"So, it appears you managed to amuse yourselves for a while. James you animal!" He laughed.

"Shut up." Both Rockets growled.

"Whatever. Anyway, all you have to do is get into that tube. You can go together or separate. Your preference." Bob offered.

Taking a second look at Jessie's hickey, Bob shook his head.

"Together it is then." Bob sighed, "I have to warn you, I haven't used this before. I mean I know how, I think, I just haven't."

"You've never used it before?" Team Rocket gasped.

"Oh Jessie!"

"Oh James!"

"Time to go. Come on. It's time for me to ditch you stupid humans." Bob said, pushing them into the tube.

He removed the black translation rings from the wrists of Jessie and James. He shut the door of the tube and pushed a small red button on a control panel. He gave a small wave to Jessie and James before Team Rocket was sent hurtling out of The Irregular Penguin. The fall back to Earth was not pleasant, but Jessie and James held each other tight until they could feel the Earth beneath their feet again. Jessie and James smiled as they looked up into the sky and watched The Irregular Penguin vanish into the sky. Then the two Rockets turned towards each other and kissed.

There were only two drastic changes after Team Rocket's adventures aboard The Irregular Penguin. First of all, Jessie was pregnant. It appeared Jessie and James had been brought together by their adventures, in more ways than one. The only other change was that the state of Wyoming no longer appeared to exist. This was not such a horrific change though, for no one really ever traveled to Wyoming, in fact it is difficult to determine whether Wyoming even existed in the first place.
